\n\tKyle Buchanan<\/a> \u2014\u00a0a high-profile Los Angeles-based Hollywood writer for The New York Times<\/a> \u2014 exited the newspaper on Friday after having served as a pop culture reporter and awards season columnist since 2018. Days later, it has been confirmed that he has partnered with Acast<\/a> to launch The Kyle Buchanan Show, a video podcast set to debut in October. <\/p>\n \n\tBacked by Acast as the exclusive advertising, brand partnerships and distribution partner, The Kyle Buchanan Show will drop new episodes twice per week. The schedule starts on Tuesdays with \u201cThe Panel\u201d featuring two to three rotating industry guests going long on the buzziest Hollywood stories of the moment, followed by Friday\u2019s debut of \u201cThe Profile\u201d featuring one-on-one chats with stars. The show will be available on Apple Podcasts, in both audio and video, and major podcast platforms.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cIn a new media landscape overloaded with quick hits, nothing beats a real conversation,\u201d Buchanan said in a statement. On X<\/a>, where his career news became a trending topic today, he promised \u201caccess, insight and A-list guests\u201d to come. \u201cIn fact, I think audiences and talent are hungrier than ever for talk that goes deep. The Kyle Buchanan Show will offer a genuine inside look at Hollywood, with a perspective that industry figures and fans can trust.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tDuring his tenure at NYT, Buchanan profiled such subjects<\/a> as Nicole Kidman<\/a>, Michael B. Jordan, Jennifer Lawrence, Brad Pitt, Daniel Day-Lewis, Channing Tatum, Colman Domingo, Emily Blunt, Ethan Hawke, Amy Madigan, Zoe Salda\u00f1a, Kieran Culkin, Austin Butler and many more. The bulk of the year, Buchanan focused on awards season in his role as The Projectionist awards columnist. <\/p>\n \n\tHe also expanded his profile as the author of the dishy best-seller, Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road, an oral history-style investigation he pulled together from more than 130 interviews. Entertainment Weekly praised the tome as \u201cno less jaw-dropping than the movie itself.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tHe has described himself as just about \u201cas Southern Californian as it gets\u201d as he\u2019s lived in the area all his life and stayed for school to study and graduate from USC. He\u2019s written extensivley about awards and has won some in his real life: In 2021, Buchanan was named journalist of the year by the National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards.
